Ginger Crinkles

These cookies are highly addictive - even for an ol' chocolate lover like myself. They're even a little healthy with half whole wheat flour. Once I tried with all whole wheat flour, but I don't recommend it. The batch pictured below are mini-sized, about two inches in diameter. Very cute!

In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, egg, and molasses. Sift or stir together dry ingredients (except ½ c. sugar). Add to molasses mixture and mix until blended. Cover and chill dough. Form into balls and roll in sugar. Bake for 8-10 min. at 375˚ until cracks form on surface.
